  Fully developed, the wine is so balanced, combining RRV fruit ripeness with coastal-like acidity. Smooth and buttery, with lemon and navel orange flavors that are softened with cream and vanilla notes and the slightest hint of bottle age complexity. So good!

  Nice and balanced, will probably smooth out even more in a couple of years, but in a good state already. Enjoyable mix of fruit, acidity and saltiness, very good with i.e. chicken dishes.

  On the nose, exotic spice, sandalwood, Tahitian vanilla, butterscotch, apricot and honey crisp apple. Salt water taffy and nougat; rich creamy spicy with a backbone of fresh fruit. Unique, fresh and full. Very inviting. Soft entry, rich creamy mid palate, notes of red apple, apricot, Bosc pear and sweet toast. A deliciously balanced wine, concentrated, lifted acidity, nice length slightly smoky, mineral finish. The wine is full bodied with exotic spice and a weighty finish. This wine has umph.
